After their wins, both performers spoke to Eurogamer about the importance of Black representation in gaming.
“This BAFTA proves [they were incorrect],” she said.
“It means everything to me.
And you think ‘it’s 2023, you’d think we’d be past that at this point’.
She said being awarded and celebrated is “another way of moving the needle forward”.
“Seeing Angrboa, we see how important representation is on our screens.
I am grateful that I can be involved in moving the needle in some way.”

Judge also said the industry is beginning to open up to more diverse stories, characters and performers.
“It’s starting, it’s a start,” he said.
“We’ve still got a long way to go.
